Pronouns for irregular plurals
by Hugh Son puqloD 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

As I understand it, irregular plurals like {cha}, {ngop}, {negh}, and {no'} are treated as grammatically singular. But does that extend to pronouns? The following sentences don’t bother me that much: {ngop wISay'moH} {Dulegh'a' negh?} {no' luqaw} {cha yIghuS!} But these seem downright weird: {nuqDaq 'oH ngop'e'?} {'Iv ghaH no'ra''e'?} {cha 'oH'a'?} {negh ghaHlaw'.} Do we have canonical evidence of pronouns used to stand in for irregular plural nouns?

In birth, you preserved your virginity; in death, you did not abandon the world, O Theotokos. As mother of life, you departed to the source of life, delivering our souls from death by your intercessions. pagh ngaghpu'bogh be' SoH; bIboghmoHtaHvIS, ngoDvam choHlu'pu'be'.

unable to use the upper case letter to specify by not specifying
by mayqel qunen'oS 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

In greek/english we *can* say: standing before His altar In the sentence above, although we don't say who this "he" is, the upper case "H" shows that the one in question isn't someone "regular". He can be a god, kahless, molor, melkor, etc. Now, perhaps someone thinks that "by definition the altar is something of a god, or in honor of one". But there's also the case where saying "standing before his altar" can actually mean "the practitioner stands before the altar which he constructed in order to honor whoever he worships". So it falls upon the "h/H" to distinguish.. The fact that we can't do that simple thing in klingon irritates me. ~ Qa'yIn
